Twitter Planning to Introduce a Tipping Feature, Expectantly in Bitcoin

Twitter is considering a feature that will allow users to tip each other, expectedly involving Bitcoin.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is a long-time Bitcoin believer and sees it becoming the native currency of the Internet. He is also an investor in Lightning Network, a second layer Bitcoin solution and CoinList.

His payments company Square also allows people to buy and sell BTC. Dorsey further dedicated its Square Crypto department to focus on cryptocurrency solutions.

Now, Twitter is working on implementing a new payment feature, reports The Information. Give Dorsey’s appraisal of Bitcoin, it can be expected that tipping would involve BTC. With this feature, users will be able to tip each by sending each other money from their tweets.

However, it’s not yet known when will the tipping feature will debut or if the micropayments features will be linked up with Square.

The company filings revealed that Twitter and Square already allow users to make donations to politicians through tweets. However, the company wasn’t developing the tipping feature as of yet.
